ellauri052.html on line 977: The most important person in Bellow’s life—Maury, his oldest brother. As Leader shows, Maury was both the driving force in Bellow’s Americanization and a major presence in his work. Parents and wives came and went, but Maury remained: Simon in Augie March, Shura in Herzog, Julius in Humboldt’s Gift. As peremptory and violent as their father but more competent, Maury epitomized the cult of power and material success that both fascinated and repelled Bellow. “I recognized in him the day-to-day genius of the U.S.A.,” Bellow said in an interview with Philip Roth. In the same conversation, Roth observed that Maury’s reckless, angry spirit was “the household deity of Augie March.” By the time Maury finished law school, he had already started collecting graft for a corrupt Illinois state representative, skimming off the top for himself and his mother. A charismatic ladies’ man with an illegitimate son, Maury was “very proud of his extraordinary group of connections, his cynicism, his insiderhood,” Bellow told Roth. Maury was disdainful of his brother’s nonremunerative choice of profession, which he considered luftmenschlich—frivolous, impractical.

When Bellow won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1976, his brother refused to come to Stockholm for the ceremony. Maury’s grandson reconstructed his thinking as follows: “How dare Saul win the Nobel Prize when I’m really the smart one, I’m the one.”

Mun piti tenttiä Chisholmin laiha läpyskä hienostuneelle Andre Maurylle. Sain tieto-opista vaan kakkosen, mikä paskakaivoarvosana. Kannoin siitä sille kaunaa pitkän ajan. Varmaan sixi koska aina nukahdin sen luennoilla. Se aloitti ainoana klo 8 ja mä olin sitä ennen käynyt uimassa Yrjönkadun uimahallissa. Hyvin maistui uni uikkineelle Andrén tasaisessa törinässä. Ize asiasssa se taisi vähän änkyttää.
ellauri194.html on line 518: André Maurystä on lyhkönen Wikipedia-artikkeli suomeksi, ei kuvaa, ei syntymä- eikä kuolinaikoja. Tunnetumpi kaima tekee hienoja urheilu- ja tandempyöriä jossain Ranskassa. Andre oli tärisevän kukkakaalikorvaisen Steniuxen oppilas ja kirjoitti väitöskirjan Tractatuxesta. Nyze varmaan tärisee jo izekin. André oli sivistynyt mies, jotenkin Carl-Erik Carlsonin tapainen vaatimaton ja vähäeleinen herrasmies, vaikka etäinen.

The historical tradition of India, Ceylon, and Burma is unanimous in naming as the founder of the Maurya dynasty Chandragupta, and as his two immediate successors Bindusara and Asoka.

ellauri333.html on line 121: One of the oldest continuously inhabited places in the world, Patna was founded in 490 BCE by the king of Magadha. Ancient Patna, known as Pataliputra, was the capital of the Magadha Empire throughout the Haryanka, Nanda, Mauryan, Shunga, Gupta, and Pala dynasties. Pataliputra was a seat of learning and fine arts. It was home to many astronomers and scholars including Aryabhata, Vātsyāyana and Chanakya. During the Maurya period (around 300 BCE) its population was about 400,000. Patna served as the seat of power, and political and cultural centre of the Indian subcontinent during the Maurya and Gupta empires. With the fall of the Gupta Empire, Patna lost its glory. The British revived it again in the 17th century as a centre of international trade. Following the partition of Bengal presidency in 1912, Patna became the capital of Bihar and Orissa Province.
